REGINALD PÉAN

Sweet Nightmares: How do you find inspiration to create?Reginald: Everything is an inspiration every day, even a breeze at the right time could help with a painting. ​

SN: Your work has a strong emphasis on a dreamlike erotica. What do you hope viewers take away from your ideas?R: Honestly I’m not even sure, haha. A lot of my work is silly, so really I hope it brings joy to people.

SN: How did you develop your style?R: A lot of drugs! Just kidding, I draw every single day no matter what. It just naturally came about over time. Not kidding about the drugs.

Collaboration with Ray Edwards, aka REEG.

SN: What is the usual process like for a Reginald Péan piece?R: The process usually involves a lot of procrastination and idea tinkering, followed by super focused bursts of painting or drawing.

SN: What are the craziest reactions you've received on your work?R: Some lady said my work looked like it belonged in a Hot Topic store. Haha.

SN: What was it like curating your group shows Booty Worship in Los Angeles and New York?R: It was so much fun, but also the most stressful thing i’ve done to date, haha. Dealing with over 100 artists and trying to keepeveryone happy should be a show itself.

SN: Is there anything you haven't achieved in art that you would like to?R: I am far from a lot of the things I’d love to achieve as an artist, but I think I am definitely on the right path.

SN: What is the biggest misconception of you as an artist?R: I don't know really..I'm not 100% sure what people really think of me, haha.

Influences?Carravagio, Oharai, Moebius, Peelart , but mostly Life.

Place you would like to live?I’d love to live all over the world.​It’s too big of a place to just settle in one location.Somewhere tropical though.

Music to draw to?I tend to listen to a lot of mixes. Been on a Lovefingers kick lately.
